One Little Word

grace

Yesterday I posted that I would not be making a New Years Resolution, but rather have one large goal to work towards that will take care of the rest. While I am definitely sticking with that frame of mind, I also read a blog post from Becki at WhippyCake.com that inspired me to choose “one little word” to remember throughout the year. I encourage you {Read More}

I Fell Off The Wagon

guilt

But I got back on! … This 24 day challenge stuff is not easy, but when you stick to it is so worth it. The other night I was making Chloe a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and all of the sudden I had what can only be described as a twilight vampire like craving for pb&j. I was ravenous. So, I took a few {Read More}

Advocare Cleanse Day 3

2146_press01-001

^^^^That is what I feel like. I am so hungry! Rawr! I’m going to be completely transparent and tell you exactly how today has been. Miserable. Miserable, but very revealing. I had no idea how much emphasis I put on food in my life. I also decided it was smart to torture myself by watching recorded episodes of Paula Deen and The Pioneer Woman while {Read More}

This year my Husband and I decided to keep things super romantic and buy each other the Advocare 24 Day Challenge for Christmas. Awww. Seriously, though, we are both excited about it and really did want this for Christmas. For those of you wondering what the heck this challenge consists of, here’s a break-down: The first 10 days are a cleanse. You drink this herbal {Read More}

Facebook & Politics

politics

This topic has long been an issue of frustration for many, so I would like to provide a little insight into my personal decision on whether or not to mix the two. On my business pages I prefer not to discuss my political preferences, because my focus there is to provide my customers with the best WordPress themes and business advice available. On my personal {Read More}

Photo a Day July

Untitled-1

Lots of my friends participate in these Photo a Day challenges each month, and this month I’ve decided to join in. Thanks to D’Anna Although, the first picture of the month is a “self portrait” and I’m thinking of taking a picture of an old picture since I’m not at my ideal post baby weight just yet… Kidding, I’ll get over it. Follow along and {Read More}

So, as it turns out…

Busy-Mom-and-Housewife

I am not magical. I thought I could do everything and get it all done in a timely fashion, however, that is definitely not the case. Leading up to our move I had so many plans for our new home and business. As it turns out, pregnancy trumps all. Pregnancy combined with . . . moving overseas, a new puppy, an increasingly more defiant 3 {Read More}

The Stomach Flu & The Kennedys MiniSeries

This past week has been a whirlwind of craziness. We are in the process of PCS’ing from Hawaii to Texas, in the civilian world they call this moving. In the Military they require acronyms for acronyms PCS stands for Permanent Change of Station. I’m pregnant, and easily overwhelmed, so my Husband sent Chloe and I ahead of him to be with family while he clears {Read More}

Creative Property and Posers

Picture 9

I feel with the amount of problems related to creative property theft here lately I must quickly address the problem and provide what I think is the perfect solution. For example, invitation designs being replicated almost exactly, website designs (stylesheets) being copied completely, social icons I created custom (she paid for these ) for a certain popular blogger I’ve seen all over the web.. Pictures {Read More}

At Home Wax Mishap

DSC_8904

I’ve long used GiGi’s Hemp Wax kit from Sally’s. Mainly because the only person I trust to wax my eyebrows is in Texas, and I’m wherever the Military sends us. And because it’s super convenient. But, also, because I refuse to spend $30 every two weeks simply to remove a few eyebrow hairs. I’ve spilled a few drops here and there over the years, but {Read More}

Mommy Guilt

I think it’s safe to say we are all on a constant journey to find the perfect balance. I know my friends and I discuss it quite frequently, but it wasn’t until I was watching “Bethenny Ever After” last night and heard Rachel Raye say something that I really understood it’s not just me. I have an addiction to reality television, don’t judge me Anyhow, {Read More}

Military Life

one

It ain’t easy, but I love it. When deployments and trainings roll around I find myself tempted to go the “woe is me” route and be depressed. That’s when I pick my ugly crying self up, put my big girl panties on and start looking forward to the next homecoming. The amount of time it takes to get from depressed to being a big girl {Read More}
